Renaissance

Throw back the curtains
Let the sun back in
It’s time to bask in the glow
To feel the warmth on my skin

It’s time to restart
In the fear of unknowing
To leave open my heart
And keep the humanness flowing

To turn on the tap
Allow the lifeblood to run
And return from this depression
To the knowing we are one

I’ve been granted abundance
I’ve been gifted good grace
This lifetime is heaping
With the most joyous space

I wasn’t meant to suffer
But permitted to finally heal
This life is a gift, a respite
From the coldness that I feel

My renaissance is accepting
I have everything I need
To be beautiful and wild
To be loved and to be freed

Freed from the shackles
Of the armor I’ve worn
Released to the earth
With the tools to be reborn

Enlightened to the notion
That Love is our highest achievement
Enlisted with the talents
To share my heart beyond bereavement

To let others look in my eyes
Long enough to see the brightness
Unafraid of being exposed
For my radiantly beaming lightness
